Discover the Story Behind Nosotros Tequila
From a college assignment to world-renowned spirits.
Nosotros Tequila began in 2015 as a passion project between two college students, Carlos Soto from Costa Rica and Michael Arbanas from Loyola Marymount University. What started as a business school pitch became reality in 2017, when they officially launched the brand. Fast forward to today—Nosotros is a multi-award-winning tequila and mezcal brand known for its clean taste, sustainability efforts, and creative expressions.
Award-Winning Craftsmanship That Sets Them Apart
Nosotros Tequila burst onto the scene by winning Best Tequila and Double Gold at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition with their very first batch of Blanco. Since then, they’ve continued racking up accolades:
Nosotros Blanco – World’s Best Tasting Tequila (SFWSC 2017)
Reposado – Gold Medal Winner (SFWSC 2019)
Madera Añejo & Cider-Barrel Añejo – Critically praised limited editions
Mezcal (Espadín + Tobalá blend) – Celebrated for its rare, smoky complexity

🦞 The Lobster Roll That Took California by Storm
